Eight books. One thread.
What patients actually experience. What the system believes they experience. And what it takes to close the gap.
The argument, stated plainly
There is a gap between what the system believes is happening and what patients actually experience inside it.
Every book I've written attacks that gap from a different angle.
From inside the patient's body. From inside the clinician's communication. From inside the system's blind spots about AI. From inside the everyday reality of a medical appointment that goes badly. From inside the public speaking that becomes possible after years of isolation.
Read one and you'll have a piece. Read all six and you'll have most of the picture.
Two more are coming: a visual guide to fascia, and a book of letters written for my daughter. She doesn't know yet what I went through to be here. That one is so that one day, she will.

Revolution From My Bed
Ten years. 3,650 days. Zero answers.
We are told the system is designed to save us. But what happens when the system hangs? When the loading bar freezes at 99% and no doctor is coming to reboot it? This book is about what patients actually do when medicine doesn't have an answer yet. It isn't a healthcare policy argument. It's a user manual.
It is for the patient who has spent years inside a system that was designed for someone else. For the advocate trying to explain an experience medicine doesn't have language for yet. And for the clinician who suspects the gap is larger than their training suggested.
Also available in German — Revolution vom Bett aus and Hebrew — שבעים דברים שלמדתי משבע שנים במיטה.
“This is the most important lesson I have had in medical school. Every future doctor should listen to this.”
